Answer 1

if you have dsl w/ at&t and you switch your phone, the dsl will automatically be disconnected. what you will need to to is call at&t and schedule a disconnect for the phone & have them switch the dsl to "dry loop" if its in your area , this service doesn't require at&t landline. call 1877uaskatt to see what your options are in your area    use referral code jr0583   good luck!

Answer 2

Legally, yes.

If you find another CLEC (Competitive Local Exchange Carrier) who can provide you with PSTN telephone service, then AT&T is legally obligated to allow the CLEC to service your line with PSTN phone service.

AT&T will then be servicing you with only "Dry Loop DSL", or "Naked DSL", without phone service.  They will probably charge you a higher price though, for the "unbundled" dry loop DSL service...
